It turned out that while completing the Conquer the Sky Burial Domain quest, Li Xingyun had received multiple chances to participate in the Painting Rivers and Lakes series' wheel draw. However, due to the urgent nature of his mission, he never had the time to use these opportunities. Later, as time went by, he gradually forgot about them.

Now, the system had just begun to upgrade, and when Li Xingyun saw the spirit beads in front of him, he suddenly remembered those unused lottery opportunities. He couldn't help but curse himself for being so stupid. He actually forgot such an important thing!

"Ah!" Li Xingyun sighed. Although he felt a little helpless, he could only console himself, "It's only 24 hours. It won't delay anything big. And maybe after the system upgrade, I can draw a better inheritance bead!"

Just as he was comforting himself, the door of the study was gently pushed open and Yuan Tiangang walked in with a smile on his face.

"Your Highness!" Yuan Tiangang bowed and said, "I have good news to tell you. Ye Xiaoyu has regained consciousness and is waiting outside for your summons."

Li Xingyun was surprised when he heard this. He hadn't expected Ye Xiaoyu to recover so quickly, after all, her physical condition was so poor. However, after hearing this news, he couldn't help but feel a little hopeful.

"Awake?" Li Xingyun calmed himself down and asked.

Yuan Tiangang smiled and nodded, then replied, "Yes, Your Highness. Ye Xiaoyu has regained consciousness and appears to be in good spirits."

Li Xingyun thought for a moment, then said, "Let her in."

"Yes, sir!" Yuan Tiangang responded, turned and walked out of the study, and soon led Ye Xiaoyu in.

The moment Ye Xiaoyu walked into the study, Li Xingyun's eyes were attracted by her. Compared with before, Ye Xiaoyu at this moment was completely different.

The sallow complexion, originally caused by long-term hunger, had completely vanished, replaced by a plump, fair complexion. Her skin was as smooth and delicate as white jade, flawless and delicate. Nourished by her zhenqi, she glowed with a healthy and vibrant radiance, completely deceiving her age; she looked like a young woman of twenty-one or twenty-two.

"Ye Xiaoyu greets you, sir!" With a clear, crisp voice, Ye Xiaoyu arrived, floating like a lithe butterfly. Her steps were graceful and unhurried, each one a carefully calculated gesture, showcasing her graceful demeanor to perfection. Her tone was gentle, like a spring breeze, warming her heart.

Only when she stood before Li Xingyun did he truly see her face. Ye Xiaoyu's appearance was delicate and charming, like a newly blossomed flower, exuding a fresh and refreshing scent. However, in stark contrast to her girlish appearance was her mature temperament and intellectuality. This unique aura made her stand out in the crowd.

Seeing this, Li Xingyun smiled and said, "No need to be so polite!" At the same time, he waved his hand, indicating that Ye Xiaoyu didn't need to be so restrained.

Ye Xiaoyu smiled slightly and sat down obediently, her movements natural and graceful. Her eyes fell on Li Xingyun, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth, as if she was looking forward to the conversation that was about to begin.

Li Xingyun sorted out his thoughts for a while, then said, "Please sit down. I have some questions to ask Miss Ye." His voice was low and magnetic, revealing an irresistible majesty.

Ye Xiaoyu nodded gently, indicating that she understood, and then found a random place to sit down. Her posture was dignified and generous, revealing a kind of elegant temperament. After sitting down, she looked at Li Xingyun with a smile and said softly, "Sir, please speak. I will answer truthfully if I know anything."

Li Xingyun felt a little relieved. He believed that Ye Xiaoyu would not lie to him. After all, Ye Xiaoyu had recovered her memory by eating the inheritance bead, so her loyalty to him should be full.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and asked, "What is my mother's identity?" This question was of vital importance to him. He stared at Ye Xiaoyu closely, and the urgency in his eyes seemed to turn into reality.

"The president of the Twilight Society! Or rather, the former president of the Twilight Society!" When Ye Xiaoyu heard Li Xingyun asking about Ye Qingqiu, a hint of loneliness and heartache appeared in her eyes.

Li Xingyun's heart tightened upon seeing this, and he quickly asked, "What do you mean? Will the Twilight Club's president be replaced?" He had been prepared for this answer, but he couldn't help but feel curious. After all, as the most powerful figure in the Twilight Club, the president's position should be quite stable. How could he be replaced so easily?

Ye Xiaoyu nodded slightly and explained, "Of course! The master has committed a big taboo, so he naturally can't continue to be in charge of the Dusk Society." A trace of memory flashed in her eyes, as if she remembered something, which made her feel a little complicated, both happy and worried.

Li Xingyun asked thoughtfully: "Why? Is there someone above the Twilight Society?" This was the only explanation he could think of. Only in this way could it explain why Ye Qingqiu lost his position as the president of the Twilight Society.

"I don't know! Maybe I knew it before, but I can't remember it now!" There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in Ye Xiaoyu's voice. She shook her head slowly, as if to shake off the memories in her mind.

Li Xingyun looked at Ye Xiaoyu's reaction. Although he had been prepared for this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. He had originally hoped to get some clues about the Twilight Society's lair and his mother's whereabouts from Ye Xiaoyu, but now it seemed that this hope was going to be dashed.

"This..." Li Xingyun was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Where is the headquarters of the Dusk Society? Where is my mother now?" His voice was a little anxious, because he knew that time was very precious to him. Every moment of delay would make his mother's situation more dangerous.

Whether or not there were people in the Twilight Society wasn't the most important thing to Li Xingyun; his biggest concern right now was his mother's whereabouts. He couldn't imagine the difficulties his mother might have faced, and his heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Ye Xiaoyu seemed to sense Li Xingyun's urgency. She calmed herself down a little and then replied, "The Dusk Society is outside the five empires, and I don't know its exact location. As for where the owner is, I also have no idea. She may be imprisoned somewhere, or she may have met with misfortune..." At this point, Ye Xiaoyu's voice gradually became lower, and her eyes became even sadder.
